How do you add capstones to a block retaining wall?

Question

We built a retaining wall that is 8 blocks high by about 45 long. There are 8 curves in the wall. To cover up the gaps on the tops of the blocks we bought some capstones. When we put the capstones on we are ending up with pie shaped piece gaps in between the them. Are we doing this right? When putting capstones on do you have to cut them to fit??? TIA

Answer 1

Yep, sure do! If you want it to look right. Get a concrete saw with a diamond wheel, or a good brick hammer. It really all depends on how you want it to look, though.

Answer 2

you got it! There is no way around cutting them. It will look nicer if you can keep the cuts as uniform as possible
